The Vine 1944 — Fine Art

The Vine 1944 shows a thin painted line that curls down the sheet and ends in small leaf shapes.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. Alexander Calder often let painted metal lines suggest movement, and here the line seems to hang and bend on its own. The paper is matte, so the painted tones stay even and there is no shine under a lamp.

The hanger on the back goes straight onto a nail or screw, so it goes up on the wall without a frame. It reads well on a kitchen wall beside a row of jars, where the line catches the morning window light.
